I have made one real friend at work, Gloria,and we are very tight. She was seeing another driver named Nick, who I am friendly with as well. He has been going through a lot of health and family issues, and said he just did not have the time or energy for a relationship right now, but did not know how to tell Gloria, who incidentally, saved his life when he recently had a heart attack. I can understand that, but was not about to get involved with them breaking up. Enter Rose, a trashy, nasty, woman that also works with us, just looking for someone to take care of her kids. Apparently she and Nick have been carrying on behind Gloria's back, and she felt the need to tell me about it. I REALLY did not want to know, and I was not going to be the one to break it to Gloria, which I am sure was the purpose of telling me. It played on my mind for several days, then I decided on an ultimatum. I called Rose and told her she had until noon Friday to tell Gloria, who is supposed to be her longtime friend. Then I was going to tell her. Rose was terrified at the thought, and said she would break it off and there would be nothing to tell. Not good enough, there had already been something, and I was not going to be the one that knew about it and did nothing.
Rose called Nick in Florida where his aunt is dying, and told him that I had been running my mouth and he needed to do some damage control. Nick and Gloria have talked, but she is at work and was not able to give me any details about the conversation.
I am not going to discuss this with anyone at work but Gloria. She is my friend, and the thing she hates most is people that keep secrets about things that affect other people's lives.
Sometimes I mean well, and it blows up in my face. I would really like some opinions and input and I know y'all will be honest with me. You don't even have to be tactful.
